Signal the start of spring with breathtaki­ng carpets of some of our hardiest native flowers. Inspired by the wealth and diversity of ancient woodlands, we’ve combined the most coveted woodland-dwelling perennials to sprinkle your own garden with a little magic.

All these wonderful plants have been sustainabl­y sourced, and are all UK-grown, fully hardy perennials.

Average height and spread is 10-30cm (4-12in). This selection prefers semi-shaded sites.

Plants will be supplied ‘in the green’ from mid-March – the best time to plant! Galanthus nivalis AGM (English snowdrop)

Perfect for planting under trees, snowdrops will quickly form dense, rounded clumps of maintenanc­e-free, vibrant colour. Each stem presents elegant, dangling flowers intricatel­y detailed with green markings.

Hyacinthoi­des nonscripta (English bluebell)

This quintessen­tially British native features glaucous leaves and powder-blue, delicate bells which swing from ink-blue arching stems. In time they’ll self-seed and create a stunning blue carpet.

Eranthis hyemalis AGM (winter aconite)

Tufts of bright buttercup-yellow miniature goblets top deeply cut and divided fresh green leaves. Aconites as they’re affectiona­tely known, are perfect for placing under trees and between shrubs to draw the eye.

Galanthus nivalis plenifloru­s ‘Flore Pleno’ AGM (double snowdrop)

Get up close and you realise the lavish opulence of the special, yet modest, double snowdrop. Their heavily-pleated blooms add an air of opulence to any garden setting or pot.
